Missouri hunter harvests 22-point deer that turns out to be a doe

A Missouri deer hunter got quite the surprise after harvesting a deer with a massive rack. The 22-point buck he thought he saw on his game camera turned out to be a girl. A doe with very large antlers.

Curtis Russell tells KY3-TV that finding the deer he caught on his game camera was almost an obsession.

"I set up in place and sat there for about three hours, they never came so I started moving and they popped out on me and I had to go back and do a little belly crawling through the woods," says Russell. "Got to about 175 yards and the deer finally turned broad side and I was able to put it down."

The trophy wasn't what he expected. That is when he discovered his elusive buck was a doe.

"It took me a minute looking at all the tell-tale signs, but it was missing male genitalia," Russell tells the Springfield News-Leader. "Its face wasn't like a buck's, it was real petite, and she had a great deal of fat on her. I've taken a lot of deer but this had the biggest set of antlers, indeed."

Did he have to have a separate field dressing room for it?

He killed this beautiful transgendered deer person! She probably had her own Facebook page.

Arrest him! Hate crime! Hate crime!

Hence why doe tags are actually for “antlerless deer”. Was a legal take. Old story actually. I think Cabela’s paid for the deer.

Last year our nephew killed a steer deer on our place. He was a male with no testicles. He had a rack but his horns were soft and sort of furry.
